VIDEO & PHOTOS: Shane Speal's Retro Tin Pan Alley Guitar
Last week, we shared videos and photos of Shane Speal's Radical Red G-Bass. Well, Speal's back with another retro-inspired guitar, the "Tin Pan Alley" 3-String Paint Can Resonator Guitar Kit.
Watch the Demo
Here's his full demo video, showcasing the "85% string tone and 15% trashy metal rasp" tone made famous by the Tin Pan Alley kit!

Matching his G-Bass, Speal recreated the classic 1950's artwork from a Stella Sundale acoustic guitar except he substituted a retro blue for the original red.
All paint is simple Rustoleum spray paint.
Speal also used gloss spray polyurethane for the neck.
The paint jobs make his G-Bass and Tin Pan Alley guitar look like a matching set!
